Back from hospital! I missed you all. [View all]

My husband drove me to the ER Sunday afternoon with chest pain and difficulty breathing.

Diagnosis: multiple pulmonary embolisms and fluid in lungs.

Probably caused after a bad case of flu followed by intense fatigue that kept me in bed much more than normal.

They put me on intravenous heparin. That helped a lot. Today they switched me to an oral blood thinner and warned me to be careful about avoiding cuts and scratches.

Sitting at my desk enjoying a good cup of tea (for a change), dealing with emails, and catching up on the latest news.

Apparently he's not dead yet. Sigh.
